One thing you need to understand about wars is that very few engage into the long, protracted warfare on purpose. Almost every war of attrition was planned and designed as a short victorious blitzkrieg. And then everything went wrong
Consider the Russian war in Ukraine. It was not planned as a war. It was not thought of as a war. It was planned as a (swift!) regime change allowing to score a few points in the Russian domestic politics. And then everything went wrong
It would not be an exaggeration to say that planning a short victorious war optimised for the purposes of domestic politics is how you usually end up in a deadlock. That is the most common scenario of how it happens, practically speaking
Now another thing to understand is that the US Middle Eastern policy has very little to do with foreign policy at all. It is a part of the domestic political games, and is heavily influenced by a very weird form of the domestic identity politics.
Unconditional, boundless, unquestioning support of Israel - again, primarily driven by the domestic identity politics in the United States rather than by any rational considerations of the foreign policy - causes an extremely corrupting effect on the Israeli state and society
At this point in history, Israel is addicted to tough guy posturing, and in that posturing it heavily depends upon the United States, and the US determination to fund and support its every operation, defensive or offensive
Unconditional U.S. support causes a corrupting effect on the Israeli politics stripping it of every incentive to normalise its relations with neighbours and with its own subject, non-citizen population numbering millions
At this point, the US may very well get dragged into a war serving no other purpose but to let Netanyahu stay in power. Due to the unconditionality of its support, the superpower is becoming a leverage in the Israeli domestic political games, and a leverage incentivising the government to pursue the most hawkish course of action possible
